Lately, we've been asked the same question by friends and family: when are you getting married? We usually just laugh it off, oftentimes with me answering 'ask him!'. We haven't really sat down and talked about it seriously, but the subject has been brought up a couple of times and seems things are pretty much going in that direction. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Then just last Friday, we were in Shang waiting in line for a cab to take us back to the office when this stranger who was behind us in the line started chatting with us. He was a foreigner (can't remember what nationality but he came from South Africa) doing missionary work here in Manila for about 2 years already. He was with his family and they were really friendly and all. The line for the cab was pretty long and we got to talk for a couple of minutes.

He then asked where we live. So Lec tells him that he's staying in Pioneer and I answer that I live down south. He was then surprised (as well as his wife) and asks 'you guys are not married yet?' (o di'ba pati strangers!) I started to shake my head when Lec answered 'not yet...but soon'. In fairness, akalain mo yun?! Hahaha.

A cab then pulls up and it's finally our turn. So as we were saying goodbye, his son (who was about 7 years old) suddenly says 'have a nice wedding!' I was surprised to hear it coz the kid didn't seem to mind us when we were talking earlier. The guy and his wife also wished us luck and told us to enjoy our wedding. Hahaha. Lec and I were just quiet when we got in the cab, but we were both smiling and holding each other's hand tight.

That would be really nice :)
